About the tides at Oregon Inlet Marina

Oregon Inlet Marina has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. Water here rises and falls only about 0.9 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most North Carolina stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.2 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 1.5 ft on September 29 and bottom out at −0.2 ft on January 23.

A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It also reports water temperature, wind and air pressure. It was established in 1974. The nearest other station is Oregon Inlet Bridge, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 17 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Bodie Island-Pea Island, between.
